Re: GQ roof swap

You dont have to use gussets. You just have to stagger your joins 10cm's apart for each layer. (i used to be a panel beater and thats what we are taught at school/ work)

Where in melbourne are you located i might be able to give you some advice if you want

On my GQ when i got it i didnt notice the bent diff housing until i fitting the 35's. Wheel alingment didnt show it up but was making the tyre scrub on the body only on one side.

Also if the old owner offered you a Diff housing it sounds like he knew about it!!!!!!!
